ICYMI — the application period for the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has been extended to Saturday, Aug. 8. Small businesses can still apply for assistance up to that date.
Earlier this week, the Small Business Administration (SBA) released data showing which businesses across the country have received payouts from PPP – including companies + nonprofits that have received $150,000 or more.
Open the Books, a Chicago-based nonprofit committed to the transparency of government spending, has also created a searchable map so you can view all the small businesses that have received funding in your neighborhood.
More than 780 Greenville businesses were approved for up to $742 million from the federal program, saving 60,000+ jobs in Greenville. SC ranked no. 48 in dollars allocated to each state, including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, receiving roughly $740 per capita.
